I would love to invest some money into Gems, but the only thing that I want is transforming armor.

only a small part of the gw2community would buy legendary armor from the gem shop as well, so I guess this is a go.

Actually, I'm surprised they haven't released armor or outfit with the looks or changing appearance yet. I'm sure it's probably just sitting in the side lines waiting for the right time to be released. Otherwise like others have stated, buy gems, convert to gold and buy raid clears?

Legendary Armor for gems is already a thing.you buy the gems and change to gold,buy raid clears and get your insights.thats how i got mine 30000 gold cost me several thousand uk pounds. probably cheaper now.

Or better. Maybe ask for a better designed armor skin that can transform with some insane aura animation. This skin should be gem store exclusive and you can buy it only with real cash (no gold to gem here.) This way Whales can have their own unique armor skins I mean they did work hard for them.

 

But let's keep the current PvE legendary armor skins in the raids, they were designed for them after all.

[Astralporing.1957]

While i'm all for diminishing exclusivity of Raid unique rewards, the idea is for it to happen through in-game method. Not through cash purchases. Gemshop is at this moment already bad enough, let's not make it any worse.

[Magnus Godrik.5841]

Wow really. You do know the gem shop is only for cosmetic purposes, right. You are dipping into Play to win territory with this idea. But then again you can convert gems to gold and buy your clears. Look for yummy he sells raids cheap.

The OP probably works for EA.

... I cannot believe so many people cannot tell that this is a spoof thread. O_o

Only a small part? Actually you are making guesses and state them as facts.

 

Realistically a lot player who are just doing TP gambling could turn IGG into gems and just buy what they were too lazy to work for.

Also mount skin RNG boxes has shown to us that lots of players has 120 dollars to unlock the mount skins they want.
